"Loved the ocean view from our room. Great hotel for the price"

"My adult son and I just finished a motorcycle trip to OBX. We picked Dolphin Inn because we wanted an old school motel experience, with easy access, and beach front. All at a good value. Dolphin Inn was PERFECT. It's been recently refreshed, and the rooms were very clean, nicely decorated and QUIET. The staff was friendly and professional, and everything we needed was available. Dolphin Inn is located about 15 minutes from the "action" at Nags Head, but a 7-11 and local favorite bar and grill was an easy walk. The room was a little on the small side and didn't have many "extras" but it had everything we needed, including a coffeemaker and nice TV. We don't smoke, and we couldn't smell smoke in our room, but if you do smoke I would highly recommend Dolphin Inn as there are chairs to smoke outside each room. This in no way bothered us as non smokers. In fact, most folks sat in the chairs to enjoy the weather, and we struck up conversation with them. They gave us tips on what to do and see. You don't get that in the large chain hotels. Often times we'd look at the large Comfort Inn hotel a few lots down, and comment on how glad we were choosing the Dolphin. As for convenience, it was VERY nice to just walk out your door and be at your vehicle. It was also very quiet at night with no traffic noise. We're big fans of the Dolphin Inn, it was just right for us. "

"Wonderful service especially in breakfast room. "

"Very nice stay, wish there was an extension of the platform that leads to the beach. Sometimes the walk uphill in the sand is difficult."

"It was right the ocean "

"All facilities in the room were in working order. Well equipped room. Comfortable bed. Easy parking and access. "

"My go to place to stay to beat the crowds. Staff is friendly and the beds are comfy. "

"Great place near the ocean! Friendly staff, clean and updated room, good AC and shower pressure. Comfy king bed. No in room safe. Breakfast was fine: make your own waffles and other quick fare. Nice gazebo on site to look at the ocean. Great pool, very clean but no baby pool. All in all, I’m glad we chose this place to stay for 4 nights. Early check in can be bought for $50."

"It's a very convenient location for us. The room is always clean. We've stayed here for years and will definitely be returning. "
